Maxen by Stephanie Witter

They were
married but never kissed.
That night years ago never had consequences…until now.“I wasn’t into the love bullshit and I didn’t really believe in forever
between two people.’’If I had my way, I would have never seen Maxen Walton again, the womanizing
drummer of Kinky Shine.

When I met him in college he was already going through girls as if they were
disposable. I had always hated him. Yet, for some drunken reason I ended up
marrying him in Las Vegas. That night, right before I puked in the fake flowers
and left the tacky chapel was the last time I had laid eyes on him.

Until my boyfriend asked me to marry him.

Now, I was in LA trying to get a divorce from my husband without the press
hearing about it.

What I didn’t expect was that my famous husband affected me and that getting to
know him would change a lot more than I ever planned.

“All I saw now was Lark, always and forever out of my reach, always driving
me crazy.’’

I had only ever met one woman who equally drove me crazy and made me want her
until I forgot my name.

Lark Hardin.

And I married her one crazy night in Las Vegas.

Freshly out of rehab and trying like hell to get back in the game while
convincing my best friend I wouldn’t relapse, seeing my wife again was the last
thing I needed for that.
Life liked f*cking with me, though.

Here she was, so sexy I would damn myself to be inside her just once, but she
wasn’t here for me. She was here to get a divorce so her perfect boyfriend had
free range to marry her.

She still hated my guts on the sole principle that I was a womanizing f*cker,
but maybe she would open her eyes and see beyond that part of me.

I just hoped it wouldn’t be just for the sex because this woman had always been
my weakness.

She had the power to destroy me.

“I’d spent the better part of my life hiding behind my bright smile and loud
laugh, pushing everything away by using sex, but that was over.’’

**For readers over 18. Can be read as a standalone but if you want the
full Kinky Shine experience don’t miss the first book.**

Holy smokes this book surpassed all my expectations! Dex was a really good read, so I was definitely looking forward to Maxen, but Stephanie Witter hit the nail on the head with this one! This is my third Stephanie Witter book, and with each one we as the reader can see how much she has evolved as an author. Each time her books just keep getting better and better, and I end up with a new favorite.

I seriously love Maxen! I love his dirty talking mouth that has no filter. I love that he is secretly in love with his wife….swoon! Just writing that sentence makes my heart flutter. I love that he’s the drummer for famous rock band Kinky Shine. True he hasn’t had the best past and had his man whorish ways, but the way he so patiently waits for Lark is just perfect. She needed time to see her real feelings buried under the supposed hate she thought she felt, and he’s there for her when she figures them out. Like seriously, what’s not to love!?

I need more Kinky Shine stat! After reading Maxen, Ms. Witter has made herself a spot at the top of my list for authors to follow! That’s how good it is! If you haven’t read Dex yet, I seriously recommend you read that one too so you get to know all the guys of Kinky Shine.

Stephanie Witter,
in her twenties, lives in France where she comes up with book ideas on her
laptop, notebook or phone. When she’s not writing the day away, she likes
visiting museums or shopping to add another nail polish to her already huge
collection. She’s also unable to resist the appeal of new books, even when she
knows she can’t possibly have the time to read yet another one. She’s happy to
have a to-read pile so high she can never put a dent into it even if she tries
her best.
